Plot synopsis: “Disgraced and retired mixed martial artist Wes ‘The Jailor’ Baylor (Scott Adkins) couldn’t refuse the million dollar purse offered to fight in Myanmar. When he arrives to fight, he learns he’s been tricked into becoming the target of a human hunt. Carrying only water and a ruby-filled money belt for the last person standing, Wes must outsmart the heavily armed group who’s paid to kill him. As Wes fights for his life in the treacherous jungle terrain, the hunters become the hunted. Hard Target 2 is a must see film for action and martial arts fans featuring Adkins in incredible fight scenes.”

So do you bet on Scott Adkins or Robert Knepper? Or you just don’t care about those two chaps because you’re already mesmerized by Rhona Mitra?

They may call it Hard Target 2, but it doesn’t sound like a sequel of the 1993 movie starring jean-Claude Van Damme… Here’s the movie trailer of the original Hard Target movie:

And top executive at Universal 1440 Entertainment confirmed the film is actually a kind of reboot:

“We’re extremely excited to have the opportunity to reboot this much-loved action film for a new generation. With exciting hand-to-hand combat, mind-blowing stunts and a plot that raises the stakes even higher, Hard Target 2 will thrill fans of the original as well as and anybody who enjoys a top-notch, adrenaline-fueled action-adventure.”
